'Saturday Night Live' recap: Jim Carrey's energy and skill made up for a late start

The first
Saturday Night Live of the new year was delayed on the East Coast by NFL
football. "How ’bout those Jets, New York?" asked host Jim Carrey, as the show
started 15 minutes late. Carrey’s opening moments, which included a nice riff
on this being "the first show of the last year of our existence" plus his
marriage proposal to a good-sport but already-hitched woman in the audience,
had every bit of the "positive energy" that Carrey claimed to — and did —
radiate.
